Tracking users across browsers
Thursday, 6 December 2007
Thom Shannon has released an interesting bit of Flash/JS code which enables a site to track users across browsers. It only works on Windows at the moment and uses Flash local storage to retain the information. I think this could be great for tracking malicious TOR users or attackers behind proxies. The example along with source code can be viewed here:-
Great work Thom!

I don’t like not being able to see the Flash object sources 🙂 so, here I coded it for you!
